Hi there! I live in Marin County on the other side of the Golden Gate opposite San Francisco. I live on a walking path to Larkspur Ferry which drops you downtown San Francisco. My extended back yard is Napa and Sonoma wine country. I live near amazing beaches, redwood forests and hiking trails all very close. I live in an apartment with a pool and my girls. I work 2 miles from my home. I definitely have it good! I am always planning my next trip and adore the outdoors.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am usually on a budget and I love to meet people.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once took my two preteen daughters on a reasonable tour of the
Grand Canyon and Death Valley. When we arrived at the bus, it was definitely a luxury bus line, but when we got on the bus, we were the only ones, save one Bulgarian, who were not Chinese. The tour was Chinese. The tour guide would speak for two hours in Chinese and then 5 minutes in English--it was hilarious. The people were cool though and loved the girls. I should have confirmed before but didn't know I had, too. Both beautiful though...
